Highly recommend this tour. There are many similar ones but we had a blast. We had plenty of time to snorkel and explore. Boat had changing rooms and bathrooms. Loved the entertainment.
If you want to paddleboard or kayak they are in limited supply so I would do that first.
Everything was perfect. Perfect Crew, perfect boat, perfect ocean ...... and perfect drinks.
MAHALO
Marek and Joanna from Poland
Great experience, fun, wet and just a little wild
Definitely will do again
Matthew went above and beyond to make our experience memorable! Definitely bring lots of water and good hiking shoes as the falls can be a bit muddy. The driver provided water, hiking sticks, and bug spray which is a must. Great experience
Our dinner cruise was nothing short of exceptional. The vessel was spacious, ensuring a smooth, comfortable ride without any hint of seasickness. Boarding and disembarking were seamless, and despite the ship’s size, the atmosphere felt intimate rather than crowded. The meal was beautifully prepared and flavorful, complemented by lively entertainment. Our server’s vibrant energy and warmth elevated the entire experience. The true magic, however, unfolded on deck—watching Waikiki’s shimmering skyline from the water as fireworks lit up the night sky. An unforgettable evening I would gladly repeat.
This tour is a must our tour guide/ Bus Driver Bill was Fantastic and Awesome!! The entire tour was great will definitely use you guys again
Enjoyed the explanations of movies filmed here and learning about the native plants as well as the non-native plants. Would have liked a more detailed description of what we would be seeing and I would have signed up for a more comprehensive tour of Kualoa Ranch. Another family said the same thing. By the time you are there and realize it, the spots are all taken and you cannot upgrade your tickets.
You would really enjoy the experience!
The staff was amazing. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They helped make our experience most enjoyable and memorable.
We saw more turtles than we could imagine! They were constantly sticking their heads above water as if they were greeting us.
The waters were calm and the kayaks and paddle boards were well maintained.
I highly recommend this activity with Sea and Board Sports Hawaii in Haleiwa. I give them a 10 out of 10.
The sun is very strong , therefore sunscreen, hats and protective clothing are highly recommended.
From start to finish this was the best part of our trip to Oahu. The staff made everything go so smoothly and were all so sweet and fun. The musicians were amazing and will even take weird song requests from the audience. The sand bar is stunning and was just so magical, the extras like the paddle boards and canoes, snorkeling and volleyball, were the cherry on top. 10000% recommend that you add this to your trip! We also did the bumper boat and although my husband hated it, my 12 year old son had a BLAST!
You can add on the bumper or banana boats while you’re on the sandbar if you are undecided..
First time in Hawaii for our family. We all enjoyed it, great dancing and music. Lots of energy and laughs from the host.
We had a great time - knowledgeable staff dedicated to safety; beautiful spot for snorkeling and having fun! The lunch was delicious
Guarantee you will have fun! Amazing views, warm clean water. Live music
great way to see Waikiki and diamond head from the water. Being able to bring your own beverage is another plus. Boat isn't huge so you don't feel like you can't move around due to a mass of people. Wonderful short adventure.
Plastic glasses, some wine in a water bottle and you have a great day.
We had an awesome day of water fun! There were several choices of activities to keep us entertained. The crew was fantastic, helpful and knowledgeable. We felt safe and taken care of the entire time. My kids had a great time, which means mom had a great time 😊 Would absolutely book again!
Highly recommend
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! The staff was exceptionally welcoming, and the live music on the boat created a fun and relaxing atmosphere on the way to our destination. The location was beautiful, and our children especially loved the snorkeling and paddle boarding activities.
Although we brought our own snorkeling gear, we were impressed that the tour provides everything you need—snorkeling masks, lifejackets, and more—which makes it incredibly convenient. You really don’t need to haul your own equipment.
This experience was truly the highlight of our trip. We highly recommend it for all ages—for reference, our children are 6 and 7 years old.
Totally enjoyed or outing on August 1st. The crew was professional and extremely friendly. The music was great also.
This was one of our favorite activities in Hawaii! The expert crew was awesome, friendly, and very helpful. We will definitely book this tour again on our next trip to O'ahu!
Jenny was very patient and kind with my 10 year old who had anxiety. This was a good beginner snorkel lesson!
The crew was amazing and the sandbar was a cool experience. A fun way to spend an afternoon!
My wife & I took our 3 daughters (17, 13, 9) on this excursion and it was amazing. The music was great, and the crew was awesome. Our youngest got a little chilly at times, but plenty of space to chill right off the back of the boat. Snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, etc. lots of fun.
A Japanese-speaking guide accompanied us throughout the entire tour and provided very attentive support, which made the experience extremely comfortable and reassuring.
Because there were only a few participants on that day, we were able to take our time at each location and enjoy a relaxed pace.
From the volcano to the waterfall and black sand beach, the tour was packed with highlights, and I was thoroughly satisfied with the entire day.
Loved our family trip on the boat out to the sandbar. It was great fun, lots of wonderful music and many memories made with our family.
We did several activities in Hawaii but if I had to choose one as my favorite, it would be this one. You get to do a little bit of everything, it’s like the whole Hawaii experience. This is great family tour. I loved it so much! Plus the buffet dinner is included which was amazing! The night show for me was the best part. I can’t describe how much I loved it!
Wear comfy shoes, wear a light sweater and take some sunglasses!
My family and I had the best experience, the ranch is amazingly beautiful! We felt like we were in the King Kong movie haha. The ride was super fun. Would definitely recommend this!
This was in May, wear jeans and a light sweater. I got sick, the wind was freezing cold.
We had an amazing experience, saw so many sea turtles. Our guide was great and he gave us tips and locations to visit on our trip. This is a phenomenal experience and I would highly recommend again!
The sandbar experience was amazing. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. They had food for us to feed the fish. I recommend booking the banana boat ride. The live music was so cool. We did snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding. My daughter has not stopped talking about it. It has been her favorite excursion this trip.
Tip the staff. They deserve it.
The staff was so friendly. From check in to being out in the ocean.
Always checking in on us when we were in the water.
Staff was in great spirits. Love the live music.
Your team went above and beyond when my family and I were a few minutes late.
The boat left us but one of your staff members stay behind to take us in and give us a ride to the main boat.
I felt like a VIP.
Thank you.
Staff was amazing friendly and made sure our family of 5 had one of their favorite days in Hawaii….. If we had more time would have gone back again.
I’m writing this review to emphasize how great the workers of this cruise are. Great atmosphere, the banana boat was extremely fun, and the driver was a joy. We also got to do some snorkeling, seeing some beautiful fish. My main point of this review is to talk about how amazing the crew was when hit with a massive change. As we were enjoying our time, it got caught short due to a Tsunami warning. Every crew member was fantastic with this, making everyone feel safe and less nervous. It’s a really great time, just pray that you don’t unexpectedly get a tsunami warning!
Captain Bob’s Sandbar Snorkeling Tour was hands down one of the highlights of our trip to Oahu! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. The crew was absolutely amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was safe while still having a blast. They brought such a fun and laid-back energy to the whole day.
The sandbar was stunning, with crystal-clear water and plenty of time to explore, relax, and take photos. The snorkeling was also fantastic—we saw colorful fish and even a sea turtle!
And let me tell you about the food! The BBQ lunch was delicious, fresh, and just what we needed after swimming and snorkeling. Everything was well-organized and the atmosphere on the boat was so much fun.
I highly, highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Oahu. Whether you’re with family, friends, or traveling solo, this is an experience you don’t want to miss. Mahalo to Captain Bob’s crew for an amazing day!
